Normally, the Extra From header should only be used if the patches were
sent on behalf of someone else.  It's just a bit of a pain to verify
that the Extra From matches the email headers.

Also sometimes people can't get their corporate email configured
properly for patches and so they use gmail but specify an Extra From so
their employer gets credit...  That's ok.

The patches apply fine so it's not a "redo the patch" type thing, it's
just a "In the long term, please, fix your email From header so the
Extra From isn't needed."
